   Hi Guys,
 Some of you may remember I had my wee girl Ashleigh back in June, born very early.  Well I just wanted to share our news that we finally got to bring her home yesterday!  Wow, it is so great to have her home after 11 long weeks in hospital!  She is doing so well and we are really proud of her, she certainly is a battler!  We are bottle feeding as breast feeding wasn't going too well with her not really strong enough and I just wanted to get her home so we haven't looked back since giving her a bottle.  She is 2.26kg or 5lb exactly now and even has little rolls on her thighs and a double chin!!  Just thought some of you may like an update and hopefully I can start joining in on the parenting threads now!!!

   Yay Kelly!  So glad you got to bring your princess home!
 11 weeks... that's not bad, considering how early she was.  Yeah, I know it feels like forever, but for a comparison my (adopted) brother was born at 23.5 weeks and didn't come home until 2 weeks after his due date.
